A conversation with Erik Glenn of the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust. This trust was the first state specific land trust that allows ranchers and farmers to put conservation easements on their land that both comes with tax benefits and in many cash economic benefits that allows the family to keep the land available for multiple generations and/or expansion. Several other states are offering the same type of trust for their rancher and farmers.

In today's podcast Paul has a conversation with Josh Linville of StoneX. Josh is a repeat visitor and we discuss the current world supply and demand situation for fertilizer. One comment from Josh was that the nitrogen to corn ratio is at the second highest level ever for this time of year, second only to 2005, right before the ethanol boom started.
